Ford+Alexa

[control4userguy]

Anyone using the Ford+Alexa app? I tried it today and don't feel impressed enough to continue its use. A little tough using it for nav and unless you know your music station by exact name, it doesn't know what you talking about.

I'm I missing something or is the execution of this app within Ford a little primitive?

...and, for those actually using this feature, have you noticed a voice stutter at the beginning of a response?

I asked for my daily briefing and the stuttering was really bad. But my Sync 3 system seems to have settled down. I'll try it again.

It might be good for an Amazon Music subscription but I'd rather just have an Amazon Music app.

Yeah, honestly, I use Alexa to operate the garage door and that's about it.

Today she had issues just being able to listen.

^Have that problem only when audio volume is beyond a certain level.

I think this was something else. There was nothing playing at the time. She's stop listening after 100 milliseconds or so and made some kind of complaint that I can't remember.

I have an original Echo in the house that works great.

Back when I first read that big press release I thought Alexa was going to be the end all car voice assistant, lol. This is just pathetic but fun to play with.
